但是,这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢?据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。' _. E' O5 {, B' [2 p

在网上收集了几种译法:供各位参考,希望起到抛砖引玉的作用:4 d X% @8 V9 I4 j2 p7 X

1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去,朝三暮四)

上述译法,觉得都不够准确,不够精彩,没有把“折腾”的全部意思表达出来。这里推荐一个译法,感觉比较恰当:- V9 q3 |8 V. @0 f. V
" m2 [( P4 P0 A6 ^ avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)9 {# s* ~* Q4 i
7 d7 F( p n' s) K! t5 e0 n
原因是:( k1 P9 O* h8 \; b' u
% }( X9 h$ e I3 \$ I% q “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self., N% F- c1 J# i3 r& f6 K' C! A
' p! [" {( t$ F" k% L 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.7 y5 B( h6 y7 r6 d7 `5 C
0 E7 ]9 A% Y; K; o% |4 _ “Setback” is a much better word than “trouble”, whichanunseasoned translator would like to use in the firstinstance.“Setback” especially refers to the obstacle ordifficultyencountered in achieving a strategic goal. |
